1. What are the benefits of using carbon fiber heel guard plates on my Aprilia RSV4 or Tuono V4?
Carbon fiber heel guards offer better strength, rigidity, and heat resistance compared to stock parts. They also reduce weight and give your Aprilia a race-ready look. Riders often pair these with other Aprilia parts, such as the Belly pan for Aprilia RSV4, to complete the setup.
2. Do these heel guard plates fit without modification?
Yes, these heel guards are direct bolt-on replacements for your 2021–2022 Aprilia RSV4 or Tuono V4. No drilling or adjustments are required. If you’re upgrading multiple components, you might also consider the Carbon Fiber Swingarm Frame Guard for Aprilia RSV4 for full protection.
3 How does the finish hold up against heat and UV exposure?
The heel guard plates are coated with a UV-resistant clear gloss that prevents fading and yellowing. They also withstand the heat generated by your Aprilia’s engine and exhaust system. Riders looking for consistent durability often add the Carbon Fiber Tank Covers for Aprilia RSV4.
4. Why choose Turn1 carbon fiber over other aftermarket parts?
Turn1 parts are manufactured using Mitsubishi robot arms/CNC waterjet cutting, ensuring a precise fit and premium quality finish. Unlike cheaper alternatives, these parts are made from 100% real carbon fiber, not overlays. Aprilia enthusiasts also shop the Aprilia RSV4 collection to explore more upgrades.
5. Can these be paired with other Aprilia carbon fiber accessories for a complete build?
Absolutely. Many Aprilia riders combine heel guard plates with belly pans, fenders, and tank covers for a full carbon transformation. You can check out the Aprilia Tuono V4 collection for compatible parts.
